Academic DD currently at an all girls school and wants to be with boys in the sixth form. Both schools work logistically.
She wants to do maths, further maths, physics and probably DT but might do computer science - still mulling over that 4th option.
At other (less academic) schools, the number of girls in the FM, physics, DT and CS classes have been tiny. Think one girl and ten boys. Whilst we kind of expect an uneven spread between the sexes, does anyone have any insight into current splits in these subjects? Open days aren’t until September.
Also, thinking it might be easier to make friends at UCS as all the girls are new at the same time? Anyone had a girl join Highgate at sixth form?
DD is quietly confident and generally good at making friends in new situations. She would find it hard trying to break into cliques though.
We have also looked at standalone sixth form colleges (both state and private) and hardly any offer DT / product design e.g. Woodhouse College. Any suggestions of other places we should consider?
